WONDERFUL COUNTRY

There once was a time when, as old songs prove it
The earth was not round, but an endless plain;
The sea was as wide as the heaven above it
Just millions of miles, and begin again:
1t ever should end when the world could play,
When singers told tales of a crystal city
In a wonderful country far away
But the schools must come with their scales and
measures.
To limit the visions and weigh the spells:
They scOffed at the dreamers with rainbow treas
And circled the world in their parallels
They chartered the wales and the sunny meadows,
Where Ministries might ride for a wear and q day
They sounded the depths and they pierced the
OF that wonderful country far away.
For fancies they gave us their microscopes;
For knowledge a rubble of fact and doubt
Wing-broken and Gagged, like a bird from the tropics,
Cold Reason, they said, is the earthly Eden,
Go, study it's springs, and its ores assay
But fairer the flowers and fields forbidden
OF nat wonderful country far away.
They questioned the slumbering baby's laughter,
And cautioned its elders to dream by rule;
All mysteries past and to come hereafter
Were settled and solved in their common school,
But sweeter the streams and the wild birds singing,
The friendships and loves that were true Away
The gladness unseen, like a far bell ringing,
In that wonderful country far away.
Nay, nor in their reason our dear illusion,
But truer than truths that are measured and
weighed
o land of the spirit where no intrusion
From bookmen or doubters shall aye be made
There still breaks the murmuring sea to greet us
On shadowy valley and peaceful bay
And souls that were truest still wait to meet us
In that wonderful country far away

State gtems.

Charlotte Home: A cotton stalk
over eight feet and having on it 2O7
fully developed bolls was shown this
afternoon. ....
Winston Daily: We were shown a
gourd, suspended from a vine in a
peach tree yesterday which is 81
inches long.
Gastonia Gazette: Mr.. Lucius Hen
derson, of Begonia, picked $50 pounds
of cotton one day last week. Who
a beat it?
Wilson Advance: Mr.. J. E. Brown
showed us a squash last Tuesday that
measured As inches in circumference
and weighed 38pounds.
Durham Recorder: A large meeting
of renters was help in the mayors
Office Saturday night looking to the
formation of a Building Association.
The revenue collections in this
district during September were $1O4,-
74O, sc. Durham paid $54, COS, SO of
this amount. There are fifty counties
in this district.
Southern Tobacco Jommul:: Maj. w.
W. Rollins, of Marshall n. c., has 100
acres in tobacco this year, and the
Major claims that the crop will bring
him $4,000. Major Rollins is the
largest tobacco grower in the world,
and his crop this year is somewhat un-
der the average. At the low prices
of last yea1sgwe understood that his
crop reai21sd $4,000.
Gold feat: The North Carolina Tile
and Brick Company was formed at
Pomona Guilford county about a yeap
ago for the purpose of manufacturing
thinks, piping and fire proof brick and
teracotta fues from a Kaoline clay de-
post about four miles West of Greens
boro. The success of this plant has
been somewhat phenomenal, and to-day
they are uRsble to fill their orders.
Newton Enterprise: A capitalist and
manufacturer was in Newton a few
days alb looking arounp for a location
for a BOO, 900 cotton factory. We
understand that he left favorably i'm
pressed with the place. He would be
wise in locating here as no town offers
better advantages than Newton and
the citizens offer great inducements to
all persons desiring to establish manu-
featuring enterprise among us.
Kernville News and Farm No town
a succeed long without diversified
industries. They are essential to the
life of the town, each assisting the
other and all giving vitality to the
place. The town that shuts itself up
to n manufacturing enterprise, is
like the farmer that raises but one
crop, its money goes to enrich others.
Several small industries are worth a
great deal more to a town than one
large one, although few seem to think
so.
Newberne Journal: Mr. L. Harvey
has on exhibition a stalk of cotton from
Mr.. W. L. Kennedy's farm that con-
tains eighty-nine bolls. An acre of
such would produce three good bales
of cotton.-The oysters brought to
market now are in much better condi-
ton than usual at this season of the
year.-The Atlantic Hotel syndicate
passed up from Morehead City yester-
day morning. Morehead is destined
to become the summer resort of the

Commissioner Robinson and Immigra-

The Chronicle had already published
the facts about the meeting and the
crowded condition of our columns pre-
vent the insertion of the communica-
ton. We give space to one sentiment:
IF Commissioner Robinson and our
new State Chemist, Mr.. Battle, can
break down the wall Of separation be-
tween the people and the Department
and can show the people that they are.
heart and hand, with the farmers and
for the farmers, they will render this
Department more useful and beneficial
to the State than it has yet been. To
this end they can canvass the State
and revive the dropping cause Of Ag-
riculture, the better for themselves and
the State at large"
If the farmers of this country ex-
pect even to see their condition bet
tered, they must cut loose in a meas
ure from the bitter political factions
that have cursed North Carolina and
the South since the war. They must
cease to follow and take the lead.
Surely they have seen enough of both
sides to know by this time that their
interests demand separate and indepen-
dent action and an entire reputation
of f~actious politics, unless they can
utilize these SO as to promote their
own ends. In order to 40 this effect
ually they must take hold of the ma
chine and run it-select their own
men for conductors, engineers, and
fremen. Otherwise, their impoverished,
and almost hopeless cindition. must re-
main as it is. The farmers should or
ganiZe at once a mutual protective
union for the elevation and advance
ment of this great interest.-Sohsbury

l climbed up to the garnet yesterday,
And there beneath the raftere, gray
And thickly festOOned with the film store
OF thrifty spiders, on the darkened floor,
Where one lone ray of sunlight stealing
through,
Gave to the floating dust a golden hue,
found my baby's shoe.
A little worn out shoe. long years out
grown
And cast aside, but oh the tone
OF ringing laughter that it waited back
In silvery cadences alOng the track
Of vanished years, whose shadows inter-
veue
Between the then and now Again seem
To see his blue eyes gleam.
Again hear the tread of baby feet,
The busy, restless little feet,
That oft repeat their jOurneyings DER and
DER,
A curious pilgrimage, from hearth to door.
Again see the CLINT of golden hair,
Like prisOned Sunshine caught IN meshes
there
About his brow so fair.
But years have trodden swift their meas
ured beat,
And now my boy, whose infant feet
My busy footsteps followed here and there.
Stands on young manhoOd's threshold !;
hritrht and fair
The promise of the future; will he tread
The straight and narrow way, when flow
ers that shed
Their fragrance there are dead
Will he still follow, to my footsteps true,
As eagerly he used to dot
cannot tell but, ere the whltened rime
Has gathered quickly on the banks of time,
And while beside it's rapid stream appears
SOME starry flowers of my girlhOOd years,
My prayer, o Father hearl
And grant that from Thine own appointed
way
His wayward feet may never stray,
But, with childlike faith, trusting still
Thy guidance, though the way be good or
I'll,
May he triumphant stand, when life is

Among the ransomed on the "shining
Shore"
Thy child forevermOre.

At tue banquet given the Missis

iau, ex-Presideut Davis responded
to tue toast "The Army aud Navy
of the Confederate States"-as fol-
lows:
/ am unable to treat this theme
as IL should be without premedita.
tion. What was the army aud navy
of the SOuthf 1t was the patriot
ism OF persons who barred their
breasts to bullets IN defending a
constitutional right. With great
uavies and armies against us, we
formed regiments aud battalions.
At their head we placed Lee as
their commander. We remember
the scenes Nhen the wife, as she
threw her arms around her husband,
and the daughters gathering in low.
ing embrace around those that we're
to go, aud then the widowed mother,
as she let tear-drOps fall on the face
of the devoted sou she would never
see again, aud girdled his sword to
his waist and told him to GO forth
as his father would have done.
Those we're the kind Of men we had.
With inferior numbers Of men We
marched onward, fighting for our
right, and battle after battle was
fought aud won, but the Northern
historians never conceded that and
indulged in triumphs Of mind over
matter. But now those scenes
and incidents have passed aud they
suly live 10 minds aud history.
United you are nov and Il the
Union is ever to be broken, let the
other side break il. The army Of
the South will shine forever around
the camp fires aud will still shiue to
Our chiIdren's children. The truths
We fought for shall not encourage
you to fght again; but keep your
word IN good or evil. God bless
